My Experience with Lorac Alter Ego Lip Gloss – Dominatrix:

The gloss comes in pretty ordinary yet sturdy plastic tube packaging with a doe foot applicator attached to really beautiful blue patterned cap. I find it pretty user friendly and travel friendly packaging. It does have a mild vanilla fragrance but nothing concerning or overpowering my senses.

The shade “Dominatrix” described as “Deep Burgundy” might look damn scary on fairer/light skin tones at first but looks are deceiving they say. It gives a nice bright burgundy color on lips tending to berry plum hues at times. I feel the shade screams attention yet in a pretty decent elegant way, the way I would like it to be on my pale skin tone to be honest!

I am also impressed by its color pay off as it provides semi-opaque finish on my lips blurring minor lip pigmentation and mild dry patches with its hydrating formula at the same time. Needless to say it is suitable for every age group and fair/light/dusky skin tones including beauties with dry/pigmented lips depending upon the degree of pigmentation and dryness as well.

I have mildly dry lips and it sits comfortably on my lips for several hours without highlighting my lip lines and/or dryness. In fact it feels pretty more hydrating than few glosses I have tried so far, not overtly hydrating or creamy though.

It gives a wonderfully wet, juicy and a bit creamy finish on lips with high glossy shine as well as full color pay off which fulfills most of my expectations from a gloss. I am also impressed to see that the gloss neither feels sticky nor it feels overtly drying on lips. I like its non-sticky and semi-liquid formula which easily spreads on my lips.

It stays put for good 4-5 hours with slight transferring over a period of time. It does fades off after a heavy meal to a soft berry stain which is easily removable.

IMBB Rating: 4.7/5

Would I Repurchase Lorac Alter Ego Lip Gloss – Dominatrix?
I am pretty impressed with this shade, formula and texture though I have come across such quality glosses in many lower end budget brands as well; hence, I am not convinced with the price yet. Still it is a price-worthy deal for quality ingredients and finish as well, but I don’t think I would get it again as I like trying different brands.
